a little update about february

hello.
not much has been going on except for lots and lots of schoolwork. but here are some things to note about the lovely month of february.
***
valentine's day was nice. danielle, kate, alli, and i gave valentines to all our friends. sam made valentines for me, kate, and danielle, but he was the only boy to do so. oh well. it doesn't matter. i bought those pre-made cookies that you just stick in the oven at walmart. they were disney princess. we cooked them a little too long but they were still good. and i also bought the movie valentine's day. it was a lovely celebration.

and then on the nineteenth, my parents and sister came to visit! that was exciting. i didn't want them to leave. i showed them the wonders of truman and kirksville and we had lunch and then hung out in my room because my roommate was gone on a retreat that weekend. (whenever she and sam go on their catholic retreats, kate and i always joke with them that the kids are going to church camp. danielle seems to be in denial about the fact that a retreat is just a short version of church camp.)
***
we signed up for housing! danielle found herself a roommate, but this girl wants to live in a different building than kate and i do, so she's not even going to be our suitemate next year. kate is incredibly excited about this because danielle has woken her up three or four times this past month by blow drying her hair at strange hours (like six o'clock in the morning when everyone else in our suite is asleep). anyway, kate and i currently have no suitemates, but kate keeps checking on it every day just in case. we're thinking that we might have freshman. which wouldn't be completely awful, depending on what they're like. we're going to be staying in BNB (Blanton-Nason-Brewer Hall). you can check out some pictures of the inside here. it's so much nicer than centennial.

my workload sucks. it's just awful. i have tons of stuff to read all the time. and now, i have a ten page history paper due at the end of break. i'm three pages in, which is better than my friends in that class have done, so at least there's that. but it's just so much work and i'm getting so burnt out and i can't wait for break. good thing it starts today once i'm done with class. :)
